The Chief Rabbi presents medals to Wolfson Hillel’s Year 6 football heroes

Becoming the first Jewish school in the country to win two national football championships – the English Schools’ Football Association Pokémon Primary Schools’ Cup and the Premier League Primary Stars U11 tournament – the triumphant team were presented with their medals at an event which was attended by amongst others, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, Enfield Mayor Cllr. Margaret Greer and Andrew Wands, Education Manager at the Tottenham Hotspurs foundation.

Chief Rabbi Mervis described their winning double as being “phenomenal and very rare”, while the team’s coach and head of PE, Adam Warner, said: “The team have demonstrated what can be achieved through unwavering determination, relentless teamwork, and a passion for excellence.”

Alex Kingston, co-headteacher of Wolfson Hillel, said the success was: “An extraordinary achievement that reflects years of hard work, dedication, and a truly special bond between the boys. “Their friendship, teamwork, and determination have been the foundation of their success and I’m so thrilled that they get to end their primary school journey together celebrating such an incredible achievement and making memories together that they will never forget.

“As a school, we’ve worked hard over recent years to develop our sports provision, and this victory is a testament to this. The pride felt across our entire school community is immense. We’re all inspired by what our team have achieved together, not just as talented athletes, but as a team who represent the very best of our school’s values.”
